MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE CITY, TWELVE 0 CLOCK. There is no particular alteration in the general B !ate of the money market, and the Bank authori ties, es anticipated, have not found it necessary at their or di nary weekly court to modify their dis- Couat re,gnlations. There is again, however, a better feeling, and the mercantile classes experience no difficulty whatever in getting xll the accommo dation they require at the current rates, and on the Sto ok Exchange available supplies are super abccdant, and the terms for advances on Govern- Meta securities are very moderate. The resp ec ti ve s h are li s t s o f the C o nti ne nt a l Union Gas Company and the Brighton Brewery Company will close on Saturday next. The last week's rai'way receipts, ascertained up to this day, are, in round figures, as under:— 1864. 1863. 50uth£99,314 £ 90,125 zouth-h- Western Wester n Great Wester°. 61,449 69,383 Great Eastern ..

Annexed is an extract from the report of the Oriental Bank Corporation, adopted at the meeting today :-The directors, in presenting the general statement of affairs for 1863, have again to con gratulate their co-proprietors on the prosperous condition of the corporation. The accounts show a net profit of £248,919 Os. 3d. available for division, after providing for all bad and doubtful debts and defraying current expenses. A dividend of per cent. has already been paid, absorb ing £88,200 of the profits, and leaving £360,719 Os. 3d. to be dealt with. Out of this "in it is now proposed to pay an additional divi dend of 5 per cent., and a bonus of 7 per cent., making with the dividend already paid, an aggre gate distribution for 1863 of 19 per cent. on the capital. The present dividend and bonus, equal to £ 3 per share, will be payable here on the 2d ~ ,r n` zinio, free of income-tax, and will amount to " 16 1,200, and leave a balance of £9,519 3d., to be carried to the credit of the next account.

Mr Laidman was educated under Dr. Howson, at the Liverpool Cillege, and Messrs. Marshall and Watson at the Blowood Grammar School, under the Rev.

The other successful candidates were from the Shrewsbury, Rugby, Reseal]; Brighton, and Lmdm University schools, There were 37 unsuccessful candidates. a joiner, resid- HYDROPHOBIA,—Johr Leshra an, iog at 5, littiliourtou•etreot , Liverpool, was admitted into the Southern Hospital cu Tueslay morning suffering from hydrophobia.

He grew gra dually worse, and died on yednesdty morning, about 36 hours after the symptoms first set in Presentation of the Freedom of the City to Garibaldi, At the presentation of the freedom of the City of London yesterday, the Chamberlain (Benjamin Scott, Esq.), addressed General Garibaldi as fol• lows :-- Illustrious Sir,—The City of London invites you to-day to accept the highest honour at her disposal, placing your distinguished name upon the list of worthies inscribed upon the roll of honorary citizenship. It becomes my duty ac cordingly to address to you, in her name, a few words, however inadequate, of thanks, congratulation, and hearty welcome. We are well aware that no one shrinks more sensitively than yourself from the voice of eulogy, and yet, living as you do to please, not yourself alone, you will feel that there arc occasions, and this would appear to be one of them, when, for the sake of others, truth, though fl. ttering, should be listened to. Bear with me, then, while I attempt to give feeble expression to the feelings of unbounded admiration and affection entertained towards you by the citizens of London. I am not called to dilate upon the marvellous incidents of your event ful career, rivalling in interest the wildest romance, because the resolution of this Honourable Court, devised so as to secure a perfect unanimity of welcome, directs my remarks rather to your character than to the political events of your life. History, it has been acid, usually reproduces herself at intervals more or less frequent, but we turn her pages in vain to meet with the prototype of Giuseppe Garibaldi ; "none but himself can be his parallel l" We find, sir, no counterpart to your career among the tabled legends of the early periods of that city with which your name is hence forth imperishably associated, when Romans in the in terest of their country " Spared neither lands nor gold, Nor son, nor wife, nor limb, nor life, In those brava times of old." In your person the primitive spirit of self-sacrifice is re produced, in combination with characteristics and quelifi • cations hitherto deemed incompatible. The genius of an accomplished general, associated with the instincts and dar ing of one of the old sea-kings ; valour which liberated kingdoms and placed them at your feet, combined with the stern incorruptibility of a Dentetus and the severe simpli city of a Cincinnatus ; a heart in which the boldness of a Leonidas dwells compatibly with the tenderness of a woman and the trust and truthfulness of a child. The whole strangely tempered and elevated by an earnest craving for the reign of peace, brotherhood, and freedom, manifesting faith in the world's future, in humanity, and in God. Twice ere mature manhood you had risked your own life to rescue a fellow creature front drowning. Then, like our own Florence Nightingale, you devote yourself to the suffering and the dying at a cholera hospital at Marseilles. Proceeding to South America, you are sub jected to the infi'ction of a torture to the utmost point of human endurance to compel (hopeless task) the betrayal of a friend; and, with generosity almost superhuman, you re lease with his life, liberty, and property intact, the monster who had so tortured you when he falls into your hands. What shall I say of the magnanimity which distributed the spoils of war and of prize money on the ocean to the most needy of your companions, and stripped from your own back even the last remaining shirt to shelter a comrade 1 Re stored to Italy and to the work to which your life is devoted, victory places at your disposal the revenues of two kingdoms and spoils which might have graced an Oriental triumph ; but you reserve not to yourself sufficient to convey you to your sea-girt rock of Caprera ; and grandest of all, when stricken down in the name of your country, " wounded in the house of your friends," suffering and helpless during thirty weary days and sleepless nights, no taunt or reproach escaped your lips. Welcome, then, in the language and the resolu tion of this court, " most generous, brave, and disinterested of patriots,"— " Welcome, because the glory of thy wreath Had never shade nor stain, Because thy sword sprung never from its sheath Except to cleave a chain; Because thy hand, outstretched to all who live, Armed not for thine own sake, So strong to save, opened so wide to give, Do not know how to take; Because thy foes can reckon to thy charge Only the noble crime Of faith too liberal and love too large For this unworthy time." We :thank you for the honour of this visit to our country and to our City. We accept implicitly the assurance that you come among us to seek renewed health, and to find op portunity to thank us for the sympathy we extended and the aid (small indeed) which we rendered to the cause of constitutional freedom in your beloved land. We have no selfish interest to promote in relation to this Sour visit. The era of revolutions is to us closed. Freedom is, as it regards ourselves, as accomplished fact. There may be deficiencies to supply and defects to remedy in the laws which regulate our social condition; but we wait as a people patiently and self-reliantly, being well assured that an intelligent, earnest unanimity will ever obtain for us that which we desire. We are, nevertheless, deeply indebted to you, sir, for stirring anew the altar fires of our liberty, aiding us to realise afresh how dear to us is our t;)cl familiar freedom as we witness your struggles and sacrifices and those of your gallant sons and compatriots, to win the same for your loved Italy. You will go back to that beautiful but long-misgoverned country to tell of a sight you have witnessed, unique of its kind, in Europe—of a million of men, contributing toe triumph of the uncrowned Champion of Liberty without the presence of a single soldier ; and you can acquaint those who rule that the securest throne rests solely upon the affections of a free people, and that the power to " terminate the era of revolutions" is in the keep ing of rulers and at their own disposal. And now, sir, permit me the privilege of offering you the right hand of fellowship as a citizen of London, requesting your acceptance in the name of the Corporation of this sou wow of your visit to their city. We regret exceedingly, in common with our fellow-countrymen, that having been too demonstrative in our affection, having " loved you not wisely, but too well," your health renders it expedient that your visit should terminate. Let us hope, in the language of the Prime Minister, " that the early termination of your visit and your foregoing the honours which awaited you in every town in this country, however disappointing to those who admire you, may have the effect of preserving to your country so valuable a life." In the name of his lordship in the chair, of his brethren the aldermen, and of every member of this court, I express a fervent hope that the invigorating air of our northern cli mate will be found to have contributed strength and sound ness to your enfeebled limb, and may the unbought spon taneous love and welcome of a free people impart fresh nerve to your arm, and brace your patriotic heart for any work, for Italy or for the world, which Providence may yet have in store for you. General Garihaldi then came forward amidst immense applause, and after standing a few mo ments as if wrapt in thought, spoke in English as follows : My Lord Mayor,—lt is certainly impossible for me to express the gratitude I feel to you as the representative of the glorious and great City of London, for the honour you have conferred on me to-day. My Lord Mayor, I am prouder of that honour certainly than the first place in w ar —the first rank in war—the first honour in war—because I consider it the greatest honour for me to be a freeman of this glorious city—(cheers) —the focus of the civilisation of the world. (Cheers.) Ido not exaggerate, I think, in saying this, because I have seen now that this city is the very centre of liberty. Here there are uo strangers, because every inhabitant is at home in England. (Cheers.) I re peat, that it would be impossible for me to express my gratitude to you and to the City of London, bat I have to thank you not for ray own proper self alone, but for the sake of my country, which looks to England for any succour she can have in war, and certainly all my countrymen never can be grateful enough to the English people for their sup port, their sympathy, and their material aid given to oppressed peoples—given under every circumstance. This is not the only occasion on which I have had the happin,sa to meet the English people. I have been happy with them in many places in the world and at many times. In America particularly, under some circumstances under the protection of the British flag, I have been saved. In China I received favours from the English people so great that it is impossible for me to forget in all my lite, and in every part of the world m y gratitude, my affection, and my love for the English people must be imperishable. (Cheers.) lam grateful for my country, too, for the sympathy shown it by the Ruglish people, and in their behalf and my own I thank The General then resumed his seat amidst immense cheering. A special meeting of the general committee of the Garibaldi Reception and Testimonial Fund was held at the London Tavern last evening for the purpose of considering the unexpected approach of the ter mination of Garibaldi's visit to England. Mr. Ed ward Miall presided, and the proceedings, which lasted for nearly three hours, were throughout very noisy and disorderly. In nearly every instance the speakers declined to regard ill. health as the primary cause of Garibaldi's departure, but affirmed most positively that the General was influenced in his decision by representations made to him from foreign Governments through every possible channel that could be devised. Mr. Seely, who was present, gave all these assertions the most complete denial. He said that owing to the number of the towns which Garibaldi had Engaged or proposed to visit, exceeding 30 in all, his friends perceived that they could not be kept without seriously endangering his health. Accordingly, on Sunday night last the Duke of Sutherland, Earl Shaftesbury, General Eber, Colonel Peard, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Negretti, and himself met at Stafford-house to consider the propriety of limiting the General's visit to six or eight of the principal towns of the kingdom, affording the remainder an opportunity of pre senting addresses to him at those places, if they should think such a course desirable. The General replied that it would be impossible for him to draw a line, and that he would in preference leave Eng land at once. That very morning the Duke of Sutherland, Earl Shaftesbury, Count Saffi, General Eber, Colonel Peard, Mr. Negretti, Mr. Stansfeld, and Mr. Humbro had endeavoured to induce the General to reconsider his determination, but without any result. Mr. Negretti, following Mr. Seely, recounted the fatigues which had been undergone by the General during his stay in London, and assured the committee that every effort that might be made would beuseless. The kind nese that had been extended towards the General was undoubtedly tiacere, but was of to) demonstrative a character for an After a great deal of angry declamation, the fol lowing resolution, moved by Mr. Nicholay, and seconded by Captain E. Dresser Roger, was unani mously carried : " Mat it is at this moment very inexpedient, and in the interests of true liberal principles highly un desirable, that General Garibaldi should be induced to leave this country, more particularly as the rea sons of his departure are .not fully stated." After appointing a deputation to visit General Garibaldi for the purpose of inducing him to post pone his return to Caprera, the meeting separated. IN RE WEBB. This bankrupt was described as of Gower's-walk, White chapel, builder, and this was a meeting for last examina tion and discharge. The hearing had been adjourned for six months, in consequence of the ill-health of the bank rupt, and he had since died, consequently no accounts had been filed, but the debts are stated at £3OO, assets nil. IN RE JACKSON. The bankrupt was described of St, Peter's•alley, Corn hill, and Douglas, Isle of Man, shipowner, &c., and this was a meeting by adjournment for the last examination, &c., and a further adjournment was taken by consent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GROSS CRUELTY TO AN OMNIBUS HORSE.—Charles Hornblow, the driver of omnibus 7355, in the employ of the General Omnibus Company, was charged by Mr. W. Love, the chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with having cruelly tortured a horse by working it while in an unfit state. It appeared from the evidence of Sell, one of the society's officers, that he saw the defendant driving the horse near St. Martin's Church, the horse being attached to an omni bus plying between that point and Camden-town. The horse was suffering from extreme lameness in one of its hind feet, the fetlock joint being knuckled over, so that every step the animal took it came in contact with the ground. The horse appeared to be suffering greatly, and could scarcely drag the defective leg after it; and, in addition to this, both its hind legs were greatly swollen, and there was a wound on one of them, brought on through the animal kicking one leg against the other through weak • nese. The animal was in a disgraceful state, and totally unfit for work. The defendant said he was obliged to drive the horses given him to drive. He had been driving the horse some days, but his employers were going to have it killed, with a number of others which were used up. The magistrate said it was disgraceful on the part of any omnibus proprietor to send out such horses for public use He should fine the defendant 10s or 14 days only, not be lieving him to be the person most to blame, and the society could proceed against the company it they had any case against them. One of the road directors in the employ of the company stepped forward, and said he would at once direct that the horse should be taken away and destroyed, and the society's officer could see it done. Mr. Love directed Sell to see this carried out. The fine was paid. ANOTHER CASE,—Frederick Brierly, badge 9,600, driver of omnibus number 7,059, the property of Mr. Henry Ward, of 9, Stanley-mews, raddinkton, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the instance of Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly illtreating a horse, by working it in an unfit state. _ . . From the evidence of George Choyce, one of the society's officers, it appeared that this morning about 9, while in com pany of Temperley, another officer, he saw the defendant driving a horse attached to an omnibus with three or four large raw wounds on its shoulders, into which the collar was pressing, and causing the poor animal great suffering. In answer to Mr, Knox, the officer and Inspect or Bowles both stated that one of the wounds was visible to every. body. Defendant said he was not aware the horse was in such a state. Mr. Knox, having inspected the horse, said that anything more cruel than to drive a horse with such wounds on it, and with such a load, he could not conceive. He should fine the defendant 205., or 14 days, and the proprietor of the horse and the horse keeper could be summoned for send ing it out in such a state. ROBBERY AND AssAu LT.—Ellen Williams, an unfortu nate, was charged with robbing Mr. George Wilson, of No. 3, College-street, Camden-town, of three sovereigns, at a coffeehouse brothel, in Bear-street, Leicester-square, known as Tabb's coffeehouse; and John Crawley, a powerfully built young man, was charged with assaulting the pro secutor. The prosecutor met the female in the Haymarket at an early hour this morning, and accompanied her to a private room at Tabb's coffee house, and after being there half an hour he missed three sovereigns. He spoke to the land- lord, who put both him and the female out of doors so as not to attract the attention of the police to the place. On getting outside the prosecutor was about to follow the female, when the male prisoner came up and asked the pro secutor why he was doing so, and then struck the prose cutor on the head, and went off with the female. The prosecutor then spoke to Crawley, 169 E, and he succeeded in capturing the prisoners, and, on searching them, found on the female £1 15s id, and on the man Os 3d. In answer to Mr Knox the constable said the prosecutor was quite sober at the time. Barns, the gaoler, said that Sergeant Gordon, he believed, could prove a conviction against the female. Mr Knox remanded the prisoners fur a week. THAMES. A DESPERATE RUFFIAN.—James Donovan, who said he was an Irish Cockney, and a dock labourer, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with making a disturbance at the Green Dragon public-house in High-street, Poplar, and violently assaulting two police-constables. Mr. George Frederick Vickers, the landlord of the Green Dragon, said the prisoner went in there last night in a state of intoxication and asked for a pint of beer, with which he was supplied. Mr. Partridge—You ought not to have served him while he was inebriated, It is highly improper. Mr. Wickers—One of my people served him and was not aware he waa tipsy. Directly I discovered he was drunk I ordered him to leave the house. He refused, and commenced fighting. I told him to leave the house, which he reins scl to do, and commenced fighting. I re quested him to leave, and he said "No, I will not," and three ened to punch my head. I called in a police canstable, who waa ill, and had been laid up for some time, and was afraid to touch him. A second officer came, and they got him out. Both were assaulted-by the prisoner, who was exceedingly violent. I am extremely sorry he was served with anything in my house. Thomas Purkiss, 661 K, said he found the prisoner in front of the bar of the Green ragon. He desired him to move out, and on refusing to do so he collared him, when prisoner struck him a very severe blow on the breast. He called for more assistance, and got the prisoner out of the house. Abraham Cleaver, 221 li, said—l went up to the Green Dragon Concert-room to assist the last witness and we got the prisoner outside. He struck me a violent blow on the breast, and kicked me twice. A third officer came up, and we got him into the station-house. The Prisoner—l was drunk, and know nothing of the affitir. Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner 405., and in default of payment one month's imprisonment. SHIPPING—This Day, LONDON, April 21.—Wind this day at noon—East; moderate breeze and very fine weather.

A deputation from the City Reception Committee, in con junction with a deputation from the Working Men's Recep tion Committee, waited upon General Garibaldi last night at half-past 11 o'clock, at Mr. Seely's residence, 26, Princes gate, for the purpose of representing to him the great dis appointment that would be felt by the people of England should he depart from this country without, at least, paying his promised visit to some of the large towns. The deputa tions, which were kindly received by the General, were introduced by Mr. Wilfrid Lawson, M.P. Mr. BEALES, having read to the General the resolution adopted by the City Committee yesterday evening, urged upon him the propriety of his reconsidering his determina tion to leave England without visiting the provinces, which would be a great disappointment to the people. He trusted the General would not yield to the influlnces which had been brought to bear upon him, but carry out, if not to the full extent, at least some part of the programme which had been laid down for him. Mr. CREMER, on behalf of the Working Men's Commit tee, read the resolution agreed to last night by that com mittee, similar in its purport to that adopted by the City Committee. He said the statements put forth with respect to his health were looked upon by the working men as mere subterfuges to cover the other intentions, and they gene rally believed that undue influences had been used to induce him to take so sudden a departure. He was the guest not of a party, but of the whole people, and so convinced were the people that his intended departure was not the result of his own wishes that they implored him not to disappoint them at the bidding of any clique, to whatever class they belonged. Several other members of the deputation having spoken to the same effect, General GARIBALDI, with much emotion said,—"l feel deeply grateful to the people of England for the honour they have conferred upon me—an honour of which I feel myself unworthy. The reception I have received from all classes, but especially from the working classes, will never be for gotten by me. I much desire to visit my old friends in New castle and the North. I will consider if I can, consistently with my promise, alter my determination, and will write a note expressing my intention to my friend Mr. Beales to morrow (this) morning. The deputations then took their leave, ogain urging upon him the propriety of visiting some of the larger towns, and thanking the General for receiving them at so late an hour of the night. The General had just returned from dining with Mr. Gladstone. Both tho City and Working Men's Committees meet again this evening. The Malta Times mentions the death under pain ful circumstances of a promising young officer of the Royal Engineers, Lieut. Gifford, who had been sent out from England with his corps to assist in demolishing the fortifications of Corfu. Tidings have just been received that be bad been killed by a fall from his horse. He was much beloved by his fellow officers. MURDER AND SUlCTDE.—Yesterday morning Dr. Lsnkester held an inquest at the Silver Cup, Cro mer-street, Gray's-inn-road, on the bodies of John Thomas Pearce and Keziah Pearce, his wife, who, it will be re membered, were found on Monday morning last with their throats cut at No. 6, Leigh-street, Burton crescent. The jury' proceeded to the house to view the bodies which lay in the condition in which they were tounJ They ware in a back room on the ground floor, each lying face downwards. The furniture seemed undisturbed. One thing, however, attracted the attention of the jury, and that was that the stove was partly cleaned, witu one brush on the hob, and the fire laid ready for lighting. The woman appeared to have fallen nearest the door, as though she had endeavoured to get out of the room. Mrs. Martha Page identified the body as that of her deceased daughter, who was 43 years of age. She had been married about a twelvemonth to John Thomas Pearce, and lived very un happily with him owing to his drunkenness. She was afraid to leave him, as ho had said if she did so he would kill her. Henry Page, brother to the deceased woman, gave similar testimony, but added that she had told him her husband was, without cause, jealous of her and 3 oung Mr. Ashley. Pearce and his wife had lived together ever since his sister was 17, but he believed they had been lately married. Alfred Isaac Ashley said his father carried on business at No. 5, Leigh street. The deceased woman was their housekeeper, and the husband also lived there. Their sitting-room was the back room on the ground floor, and they slept in one of the attics. They had been there 6 or 7 months. He believed that there had been some difference between them, owing to the liusteand wishing to leave that house. Mrs. Pearce had told him that it was owing to jealousy respecting witness, but there was no foundation for such a thing. On Monday morning, about 8 o'clock, witness came downstairs and found their bedroom door open, and was surprised at finding the passage door locked. On going into the kitchen he saw blood coming through the flooring of their room and run ning down the wall. lie then called is a police-constable. Pearce conducted himself at times in a strange manner. James Odell, 28 E, described the position in which he found the bodies, a hammer, and knife covered with blood, in the room. Mr, James Thomas Paul, divisional police surgeon, found them both dead. The woman was lying behind the man. She had a contused wound on the crown of the head, laying the bone bare. There were two wounds on the neck, one above the other, each separating all the large vessels. One of them showed that the windpipe and gullet had been cut through, and the instrument had passed into' the back of the spine. The blow on the head was such as would be produced by a hammer similar to the one before the Court. The cause of death was haemorrhage from the wound in the throat. There being no blood upon the hammer could be accounted for by the headdress being struck, and so preventing the immediate escape of the blood. Harriet Hampson identified the deceased man as her son. He was 48 years o age, and worked at St. Katharine's Docks, in the bottling department. Ai,out eight weeks since sbe visited him, whin her daughter-in law told her she was afraid her husband was going mad like his father, who had been insane ten years. She feared he would kill her. Her son had also told her that he thought he should go mad, like his father, Mr, Paul showed that tho whole of the vessels of the throat of deceased had been divided, producing death from the self-inflicted wound. The jury returned a verdict in the case of the woman, of I , Wilful Murder against John Thomas ;Pearce," and in that of the man "Suicide while in an unsound state of mind." ANTIQUITY OF MAN.—M. Eugene Robert has addressee a new paper to the Academy of Sciences against the supposition of man's co-existence upon earth with the mammalia now extinct in Europe. He remarks that the fact of the teeth of the Uraus Spaceus being found perforated for the purpose of stringing them together for necklaces, proves nothing else but that these teeth were found in a fossil state many ages after the death of the ani mal by the races of men existing within the historical times; and that the same may bo said of the other bones displaying traces of carved figures on their surface. Moreover, dilu vian man is supposed to have been no bigger than the pre sent race of Laplanders; how, then, can they have frequented caves inhabited by the colossal bear with a prominent forehead that has received the name of Uraua Spelaus? Surely they cannot have attempted to attack it, and must have carefully examined the cave be fore making it their residence. As for the fragments of elephants' tusks bearing marks of human workmanship, they appear to be much more ancient than the bones of bears and other animals disseminated among the strata of the caverns. The primitive inhabitants, no doubt, found them in digging the ground, and carried theta into the caverns to examine and work them, If they had lived at the same time as the elephant and rhinoceros, would they not have carved such striking figures upon their bones, rather than reindeer, oxen, horses, and wild boars ? And, instead of copying the figure of the modern bear, would they not have sooner copied the very striking one of the great fossil species above alluded to? Again, although the elephant and rhinoceros may have lived in Europe, such a thing is absolutely inad missible for the hippopotamus, which can only live in rivers the temperature of which is constantly warm ; transported to Europe, it might have lived in summer, but never through the winter. The number of ages stated to have passed since the time when man and the large mammalia are sup posed to have co-existed in Europe, M. Robert thinks quite insufficient to account for any radical change in the general temperature so as to render our part of the world fit for those animals. Without denying the acuteness of this line of reasoning, we cannot forbear observing that M. Robert's arguments do not by any means remove the stubborn fact that all the carved bones, &c., wore found imbedded to gether with human jaw bones in a formation considered by geologists to be much enterior to our present one. Either the theory of the antiquity of the drift is wrong, in which case the greatest geologists of Europe are wrong also, or man existed with th e an i ma l s i n ques ti on ; there is no escape from the hems of this dilemma, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past 12 o'clocic; PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Belfast, Ballymoney, and Ballycastle Junction Rail way, the Clifton Hampden Bridge, the Cowes and Newport Railway, and the Workington Harbour bills were read a second time. CATTLE DISEASES PREVENTION BILL. Lord NAAS presented a petition in favour of the Cattle Diseases Prevention Bill, and moved that it be referred to. the select committee at present sitting. A greed to. GRAND JURIES (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. BLAKE moved the second reading of this bill. the object of which was to separate the fiscal from the criminal business of counties. The bill was not a novelty, as no less than three attempts had been made in former sessions to pass a meaure such as that he now had the honour to brine under (he consideration of the house, Mr. DAWSON moved the bill be read a second time that day three months. Mr. BA.CINVELL felt that tho change proposed would take place, however long it might be delayed. He should give the bill his earnest support. Mr. P. URQUHART thought the bill ought to be allowed to go into committee, where its defects might be fully considered. _ _ Mr. MAGI IRE supported the bill. His hon. friend did not anticipate a triumph by tho passing of this bill, but he did hope that tho second reading would be carried, which would be affirming the principle of the measure. Lord JOHN BROWN should vote for the second read-, ing of the bill. After some discussion in which several hon. members took part, _ The house divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it l5O Majority against the second reading —123 FORFEITURE OF LANDS AND GOODS BILL. At the request of the ATTORNEY GENERAL, Mr. FOS lER postponed proceeding with this bill until the ISth of Julie. CHIEF RENTS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. LONGFIELD moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to enable tenants for life having interests in these rents to come to an arrangement whereby they may be extinguished without going into the Court of Chancery. The bill was merely a permissive one, and was calculated to effect much good in Ireland, The bill bad already received the consent of the House of Lords. Mr. WHITESIDE said there ought to be some greater safeguard than that laid down in the bill, or else persons having but a limited interest in certain land could dispose of it for ever, thus entirely displacing those who had inte rests in the property after his had ceased. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND thought the bill might safely be read a second time, although he must say there was a great deal in it that would require great consideration in committee. Sir E. GROGAN moved the rejection of the bill. He considered it c, ntained provisions that were both dangerous and mischievous, and therefore it ought to be nipped in the bud, and not allowed to proceed further. Colonel DUNNE seconded the amendment. Mr. BUTT supported the second reading of the bill. After a few words from Mr. LONGFIELD, the amendment was withdrawn, and the bill was real a second time, and ordered to be committed this day fortnight. JOINT-STOCK COUPANIES (VOTING TAFERS) BILL.

ANOTHER HITCH IN THE SHARSPERE COll - Siecle thus refers to an occur rence mentioned in a Paris letter :—" A banquet, and a. performance at the Porto St. Martin Theatre, were to have taken place on Saturday next, April 23, in honour of the 300th anniversary of the birth of Shakspere. • Hamlet,' the Midsummer Night's Dream,' and Falstaff, made up the programme of the representation. The banquet alone will take place—it is hoped so at least—but the performance is prohibited. If allusions to Denmark were feared, *Ramlet' might have been replaced by • Othello there also, it is true, allusions to Venice present themselves ; but what can, be urged against Falstaff, or the • Midsummer Night's Dream?' Is Falstaff a demagogue, and has society any thing to fear from the subversive principles of Titania? Imagine the astonishment of the English when they read in their journals, u n d er th e h ea di ng o f Paris The au thorities have just prohibited the p er f ormance in honour of Shakspere, deeming it incompatible with the maintenance of public tranquillity.'
